Former BLACK SABBATH Singer Tony Martin Says New BLACK Project Is "Very Accessible Dark Rock"

Peter Hodgson from Gibson spoke with former BLACK SABBATH singer Tony Martin recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Gibson: How is your new project with Andy La Rocque (KING DIAMOND) and Magnus Rosén (ex-HAMMERFALL) going? What’s it sound like? Will you tour?
Martin: "Well, we are all doing individual projects and other things right now. We are talking often about how we progress but until we have finished our current projects we can’t really get it on the road. The plan is to release the music in a controlled way that will be different to the normal record label release. We have two songs written that sound very unique and we are excited about those. It’s very accessible dark rock."
Gibson: Is there any particular Black Sabbath album that you feel encapsulates your legacy with the band?
Martin: "Not only one; most of them. I think Cross Purposes was the best quality one but Headless Cross and TYR were the most researched. The others were cool though."
Gibson: You played the majority of instruments on Scream. Will we get to hear more material like this?
Martin: "I am sure I will be exploring other forms of presenting my music. I tend to get inspired by what is at hand at the time. If it happens to be a stick and a cowbell, so be it. It never has been a stick and a cowbell, but you get my point!"
